COMMING SOON

Get your low down on what's happening in the world of Malayalam cinema, right here!

Mammootty plays a school teacher, who dreams of becoming an actor, in debutant director Martin Prakkat's Best Actor.

According to the director, who was a photographer before getting into movies, this is not essentially a cinema-within-cinema story but an outsider's hilarious escapades as he tries to get into tinsel world.

Kannada actor Sruthi Ramakrishna plays a music teacher in the same school and Mammootty's wife. "She is quite supportive of her husband's efforts to become an actor," she says of her role.

Nedumudi Venu, Sreenivasan, Lal, Salim Kumar, Vinayakan, KPAC Lalitha and Sukumari make up the rest of the cast. The cinematographer is Ajayan Vincent and music director is Bijibal.

Best Actor will hit the theatres on December 3.

For those who can't wait to see Mammootty in action, why not catch director MA Nishad's Best of Luck, which released last week.
